Wholesale

Trade terms are offered to Garden Designers, Landscapers, Nurseries, Garden Centres and Gardens open to the public for more than 6 months a year. Two trade references are required to prove your status as a trade customer after which you will be issued with a trade card entitling you to trade discount. This will also allow you access to the wholesale section of this website.
